I like the first 2 picks,but can't see the Lions taking OT Ray Willis in the 3rd when the following players are still on the board. Kirk Morrison ILB, Alex Smith TE, Jonathan Babineaux DL, Adrian Mcpherson QB Luis Castillo DT and Roscoe Parrish WR.

the last thing we need right now is another tackle, unless he is a surefire starter.

There is NO way Alex Smith falls to the third round

Ray Willis is slightly underrated because of the fact that Alex Barron gets the press on that teams O-line. Willis is a solid run blocker, but is strictly a ROT, and wouldn't be able to slide over next year if Backus leaves.

However, of the prospects you mentioned, I think Castillo will be long gone (possible first round), as will Alex Smith (second). The remaining players could be there in round three and I think Babineaux or McPherson would be the ones I'd prefer. If the Lions take DJ in round one there is REALLY no need for another linebacker in round three, so you can forget Kirk Morrison.

That would be a good draft...Castillo instead of Willis would be huge though. That would give the Lions the chance to cut Big Daddy this year and have 3 DTs on the roster. Everett in the 4th would be a good pick up, I think he'll go in the third though due to the the need of TEs in the league.

Derek Anderson in the 7th would be great. He's slated to go near the 5th. The guy is a frickin' horse! 6'6 240 I think. He's fairly inconsistant and throws quite a few picks. One thing he does that Joey doesn't is take the hit delivering a ball, he's not afraid. The guy has a cannon. He can throw a hell of a deep ball, great spiral.

Moore would be a good pick up in the 6th. I don't know if I'm sold on taking late round DEs, but he would be a good pick up.

Definitly don't agree with Alex Smith and Shazor falling to the third. And the Lions would be stupid to pass on McPherson in the third if hes there.

I think Shazor would fall. Alex Smith, no way.

Agree with the McPherson comment.

Draft Daddy has the right idea. That would be a great draft for the Lions, especially the 1st 3 picks. GBN reported a couple of weeks ago that the Lions were watching Ray Willis work out at this Pro Day.
